Mumbai, Goa och Cochin COMBO shore utflykter

Cochin: guide spoke no English. Goa: no tour booking at all. Office called an Uber driver who did not know the area. Cultural park was closed when we arrived. Mumbai: good tour guide but lunch restaurant was closed.

This combination tour worked very well. We were met by the CEO of Muziris Heritage Tours at each port, even wgen our ship was late to Mumbai. Tour content and guides were very good, particularly Polley in Mumbai. Only I one disappointment, the visit to the historic Jewish quarter in Cochin was omitted due to time constraints caused by roadworks. Thank you

Between December 26th, 2018 and January 14th, 2019 we were fortunate to visit India several times via the Celebrity Constellation back to back cruises. Using Muziris Heritage Day Tours, proved to be an excellent decision. Lijo was always available, helpful, timely, warm and friendly and met us at every port before our tour was leaving. We did five different tours with Lijo's company and each one was excellent. Our first time in Goa we did the "Spice Plantation Tour" which was amazing. In Mumbai, doing the "Mumbai as a Local", "The Elephant Caves" and "Mumbai Slum and Thieves" Tours gave us a great appreciation for the history, culture and religions of India. Our guides were outstanding and one guide in particular, Mondy Sengupta, was without a doubt the best guide we ever had any where in our world of travel. Amazingly, Lijo was also able to put together a tour for us leaving from our port in Goa and flying to Delhi. He not only made all our arrangements but personally took us to the Goa airport to help us get checked in. In Delhi, we were met by our guide and driver and traveled to Agra where we toured the Taj Mal, the Agra Fort and the Baby Taj. It was excellent experience!!!! Lijo made all our hotel arrangements as well with one night at a lovely DoubleTree in Agra and another in a Marriott Aloft hotel in Delhi. After our two over nights, our guide and driver returned us to the Delhi AirPort where we flew to Cochin. A new guide and driver picked us up at Cochin airport and took us on a guided tour of that lovely city before returning us to the ship. I might also say that there were 41 passengers from the ship on a Celebrity sponsored tour. There were only 6 of us with Lijo! The Celebrity group had a flight connection on their return leg to Cochin and we had direct flights. Our trip was also less expensive than the cruise ships tour. It was such a wonderful experience that we will never forget and we thank Lijo from the bottom of our hearts for attending to every detail and making this dream come true for us.
